The Most Over-Hyped Trends for Decorating in 2025 — And the Under-Hyped Ones We Want to See More

A living room with green chairs and curtains.

At this time of year, you'll see plenty of lists talking about the trends for decorating homes that are set to define the year ahead, and many of them will overlap the same ideas. It's easy to get caught up in the hype with some of these trends, but you probably shouldn't, really, hold space for them all. Sometimes, they don't live up to that hype.

That's not to say that we don't think these 'over-hyped' trends are valid for the homes of 2025 — in fact, most of them are. What it means is that they're often taking up real estate on those yearly interior design trends lists when really they're maybe not anything new, or super applicable to most homes; maybe they're in the realm of over-exposure, or newer ideas have come along to replace them that we think you should know about.
